The food of the hostel is the best. Separate rooms are provided to each student. The rooms are spacious and provide all the necessary facilities. The hostels also have a great internet service.

Alumni

Alumni meets are organized for increasing the interaction between the students and seniors. The seniors are always ready for helping juniors with academic as well as other life related stuff. They are helpful in clearing doubts.

Faculty

All of the faculties are well qualified and there are number of faculties in on edepartment for one course. This gives a lot of option to students. The professors are not just focused on the acamdeic growth but more as an indicual as a whole.

Campus Life

The student gender ratio is almost the same which is a good part. The university has top wordclass labs and classromss. It encourages studenst o take part in sport competetions and even has its own stadium. There is no case of harassment of juniors as the university has very strict ragging policies.

Students can get educational loan from bank in the university itself. Scholarships are provided to reserved category students. Almost half of their fee is waived off.

mba Student

Remarks

The college is good but location can be an issue for the students. IO myself had to face this and had to travel from noida every day. The area is also very isolated and is not very safe at night. But now there is not much issue and the area is also fast developing and a lot of college have also opened here. A lot of new societies have also come up.

Entrance Exam

To get into the college I gave an entrance exam which was conducted by the university itself, I scored well in the cam and was selected. The form for this exam is no where online and has to filled by visiting the university only.

Fees

The fee for the mba program is around 1.3 lakhs every year. I think it is a descent amount as other college like amity and galgotia charge very high amount of fees. This also has hostel fee included. Other than this the students who are not financially strong an dcannot afford the university fee , the uni provides fee waivers.

Placements

As the university is rather new, the placemnts are not that geat. Though students get placed but that is just based on their own capabilities and strengths. Communication skills play a very important role in the section process. Also, please maintain a good score if yiou want to get placed during a placement season. If you don’t have marks and skills there is very low chance that you will get placed.

Hostel and Facilities

The hostel of this university is okay but not great. There are only non-ac rooms and it is very difficult in summers. There is internet facility as well as the food is good. Students also have the option to stay in the nearby pg’s which if you stay on sharing basis is very cheap.

Alumni

Faculty

Most of the faculty is good but like any other college some of them just don’t suit here and do not have enough practical knowledge of the subjects. These faculties just stick to the book. But our faculty is better than the faculties of other departments.

Campus Life

The university has a beautiful campus and some of the facilities of the college are regular competitions, cultural, sports, management fests. Those interested in sports there is even a sports fest. The strngtyh of gilds and boy students are almost the same

Academics

Exam time is stressful time in GBU. There is no gap btw the exams though some prepatory leave is given before starting of the exam. The case is very bad for students who have to clear back log as they can have upto 3 papers in one day which is very tiering and students don’t even get enough time to prepare for other exams.

Internships

The college provide internships with stipend upto 10k. Students can go for their own internships but have to show the certificate and letter of recommendation.

Loans and Scholarships

I do not have much idea about the loan facility but students can for sure get fee waivers at the time of admission if they are not able to pay the fee due to weak financial background.

btech Student

Remarks

The college has a great infra and greenery around. The faculty provides a great guidance to students and help them shape their career. Though as placement is one of the greatest thing for a student , the management should work a bit on the placement as they are still low as compared to other colleges. Also, some labs like robotics are not there. But if these things are discounted it is a great college.

Entrance Exam

The college conducts its own entrance test named GBU at a national level. Students are also admitted based on JEE Mains score. One of the reasons I opted for the college is the infra and the faculties. I hot the it branch as per my GBU score and it is what I wanted.

Fees

The college fee is about Rs 1.5 lakhs per year. This includes the academic fee, hostel and mess charges. Considering this, it is quite a decent amount. Also, it is compulsory for the students to stay in the campus. Though considering it is a govt college the fee can be a bit lower but then they are also providing so many facilities.

Placements

The college has a dedicated placement cell i.e the corporate relations cell. It takes care of the placements and its their responsibility to make sure students get equal chance of getting placed. Some of the companies which visited the campus are Honda, jubilant, benzara, yes bank, lucideous tech, hcl and more. The placements are still not that great and about 70-80% students get placed depending on the branch. The average package is around 3-6 lakhs. Off campus placement numbers are much higher. The management should work on the placement and employ some industry experts at the CRC as they are just managed by few faculties.

Hostel and Facilities

GBU is a residential university i.e staying in the hostel is mandatory. Everyone is provided a single room. The hostel is huge and can easily accommodate a lot of people i.e more than 5000 students. The rooms are equipped with top quality furniture along with other facilities. The food of the mess is also good. The speed of the wifi is over 10 mbps which is great.

Alumni

Alumni meets are rare but whenever they visit, they make sure they meet the final year students and talk to them about the college and corporate demands and requirements. This helps them a lot in the placement season. The seniors are not just our superiors but also our every day guide who help us not just in academic but mostly every problem we face.

Faculty

Campus Life

A lot of events keep happening in the college most of them are organized by the college but some are also conducted by the students. The college has excellent sports facilities and may sport competition of different sports are also organized including cricket, football, badminton, volleyball etc. There are also indoor game facilities. It also a huge swimming pool for us. The labs are well maintained and are equipped with the latest technologies.

Academics

The exam structure is very hectic during the first year as have classes and labs from morning till 5. Though as we pass on the next the pressure gets lighter. But the students should maintain the min attendance otherwise they will be not be allowed to sit for the exams. Main focus should be on the last year as it carries a lot of weight. Also scores are given on class participation and involvement.

Internships

The internships are not fixed and the CRC is not well equipped to provide u internships. It is best that you do internships on your own. Though mtech students get to do the internship.

Loans and Scholarships

Scholorship is provided to those who are not financially strong. Though the candidate has to pay the full fee and if they fit in the criteria of scholarship they get a refund. Yes, loans are also provided, I don’t have much idea about the loans you can contact the college.
